We were let down by one of the software suppliers last weekend, when Octagon went to replace a client’s ageing server – they were surprised by how slow it was, forgetting that we were replacing it because it was too slow for their software!
Fortunately the plan Martin and I had drawn up allowed for plenty of points along the project for us to stop and reset the network back to it’s original state so allowing the client’s business to still operate. Then all we had to do on Monday was reschedule for this weekend.
I am now sitting here at 1am doing the data copy!
The rest of the team will be joining me at 8am.
